User talk:SrL 07 CK

This is being posted on your Talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss issues and respond to questions. At the end of each message you will see a signature left by the editor posting. This is done by signing with four  ~  or by pressing or  in the editing interface tool box, located just above the editing window (when editing). Do not sign edits that you make in the articles themselves as those messages will be deleted, but only when using the article talkpage, yours or another editor's talkpage. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance and contact information.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Pioneer Mother (Eugene, Oregon)
Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! I am an Oregonian, from the desolate east end of the state, and I happened to notice you were working on an Oregon subject. Thanks! May i give you a small hint please? You are doing great on your article, by the way. It is so good to see an article from a new editor that is properly referenced.

Like many publications, we have a manual of style. Don't worry about it to much for now, because others can and will come behind you once your article is in the encyclopedia and clean little things like style issues up. There is one easy one you can address now and it will simply make your article (which already looks pretty good) look a bit better. When we name people, we do not use a title, except for military and heraldic titles (eg, Captain or Sir), or rarely when it is necessary to use a title to show the person's sex (eg, a first name like Francis). We don't use middle initials except for clarity when an article talks about two people with the same name. And in all cases, in the first instance of a person's name in the article we use first and last (and initial and title if appropriate). After that, we just use the last name, like this example:


 * "John Brown and Captain William Smith went someplace. Ten years passed. Smith and Brown then returned home."

If I can be of any assistance, please feel free to drop me a line at my talk page. You might also find WikiProject Oregon to be of interest. I will also leave you a link to a Q&A forum especially for new editors. Good Luck and Happy Editing! Hope to see you around. John from Idegon (talk) 05:19, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
